Tools to enable communication between sensor devices

Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of applications to enable communication between systems such as: telemetry and sensors that interact in the RICB (Rescue In Collapsed Building) system that searches for victims in buildings collapsed by earthquakes, in which a decentralized communication platform is required. This platform needs to work independently from Internet such that people can integrate themselves with their devices such as: smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile devices. An independent Internet collaboration tool is required, without a license, for which several were investigated, and an analysis and comparison of characteristics is presented. Tests showing which best adapts to the RICB system, chooses the one that is most flexible and versatile, especially when communicating between several different elements such as: people, applications, and sensor devices. For this investigation exhaustive research of applications was carried out; later their characteristics were tested, eliminating those that did not match the needs of the RICB system, resulting in two tools that were installed and tested. The contribution of this article is the search and choice of applications that maintain the connection between devices despite the lack of Internet.
